Hancock (statewide implications) -

HANCOCK,Maine -¬† Mitokine is currently developing effective new diabetes treatments. We have shown that our main product, normally made with insulin, increases the number of insulin producing cells and protects them, suggesting it is a critical component of glucose management. Work from a Toronto research team, published July 2011 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, substantiates these results.

A background brief on Mitokine and its research and development activities is available for your reference.
